Applicability of natural geological objects for storage, disposal and utilization of carbon dioxide (review)

Abstract

In the context of the current trend, today we are focused on low-carbon energy, so the question of carbon dioxide utilization is very important. Underground storage of carbon dioxide is an important part of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects and a key technology to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. There are currently many carbon dioxide capture projects around the world, but each project has its own specifics. The article discusses the features of carbon dioxide capture in natural geological reservoirs and the principles of carbon dioxide retention in them. An example of some Carbon Capture in a natural geological reservoirs projects are given. The choice of a natural reservoir, the development of a technology for its identification and justification criteria are of key importance for the environmentally sustainable capture of carbon dioxide.
